How To Become A Full-Time Filmmaker | Here's How I Did It!

[@MasterYourPersonality]

This guys overnight success took him 10 years. Great example of how people often forget that success takes time and effort. Well done to this man doing what he’s here for.

[@MillaExplores]

Yes, a very important thing to remember!

[@ebentee]

The process is most at time ignored, it really involve a lot

[@SystemDesign-pro]

overnight success?

[@BASKETBALL_UNI]

Repent and receive life from Jesus Christ and be saved in Jesus mighty name amen.

Das zeigt mal wieder das es keinen Erfolg über Nacht gibt, du arbeitest und trainierst deine Skills seit über 10 Jahren, krass das es nach deinem Abi nicht direkt "klick" gemacht hat und du dich eher auf deiner Weltreise in das Thema Foto- und Videografie verliebt hast. Du hast auf jeden Fall einen wahnsinnig coolen Style in deinen Videos und richtig geile Aufnahmen immer drin, großen Respekt, du wirst ziemlich schnell zu einem meiner Lieblingsyoutuber auf der Plattform hier! :)

[@RyanKao]

Loved hearing your story man. We had such a similar start it’s pretty crazy! Keep it up 👊🏼

[@NiklasChristl]

Thanks Ryan, I felt the same by watching your story on how to become a full-time filmmaker! Love your videos. 🙌🏽

[@DaveSy]

No wonder your videos are super awesome now -- you've been so consistent since childhood! Congrats on the fast growth, it's well deserved! While everything looks pristine, I think your sound editing makes you stand out the most.

[@joaquimpacer]

Excellent job man! I love the honesty and willingness to share your workflow with others. I’ve seen a few of your videos and have to say your editing is top notch. Thought it was also terrific when you talked about scripting versus free flow in your shots. Crazy helpful! Will definitely be implementing some of these techniques in my videos

[@XzarLim]

Arghhhhh! Really love your effort and creativity in filming! Always full of passion, keep it up!!! I was just watching your videos 3 months ago with few subscribers and look at you now! You deserve that! :)

[@daliabohn]

Awesome and inspiring video, Niklas. I would say it is a learn process and it doesn't matter where you started. Most importantly you did and you keep on learning!

[@KaanSenel]

Your growth is insane but really well deserved man. Your vids are so well structured, you're a good presenter and everything is just point! Keep on going man, you'll reach 1 mill in no time!

[@HenrikFaehrmann]

Great inspirational video. I also shoot videos since many years. Always next to school, constantly leaning new skills and practice a lot. And now I finished my Abitur last year, founded my own company and now I am shooting videos for companies. It’s such a great job. Even when I am just at the beginning I am really happy about the things I have achieved to this day and I’m looking foreword to many great years☺️

[@phucmapvlog]

Great list man 👌🏻

[@NiklasChristl]

Cheers man, appreciate it! 😁🙌🏽

[@Alice-ps5qd]

Who films you filming? I feel like to get quality videos like this out and include yourself in it would require friends of the same skill set and interest. Love your work, inspiring and right to the point. Keep helping people. Thank you!

[@Samsunturkey]

Your adventures and memories are so beautiful. Congratulations brother. achievements

[@southpaw5877]

Your color grading abilities are off the charts

[@MillaExplores]

Your videos are always so high quality and the storytelling is amazing. No wonder you have gained such a huge following in a short time! Your work is fantastic. 🙌🏾

[@jayden._films]

I’m 12 right now and love filming videos. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@kyan9674]

Wow your channel looks great 👍🏻😊

[@jayden._films]

@@kyan9674 thanks 🙏

[@PrabhuMaroo]

Ohh woww!! Why you always inspire me to move forward! Watching your videos, I went on a social media detox, started making my daily routine..made my website and stuff! You will do great on KZbin🔥 I love your storytelling ❤️ more to learn from you! And yeah congratulations for 100k more numbers to come❤️

[@whosyourbrad]

This is awesome brother! & it's amazing to hear your journey! Keep killing it 🔥🔥

[@JulioViajandoRico]

Can´t believe he is celebrating 100k subs and 7 months later he is almost at half a million subs! wow, that's mindblowing!! Congratulations Nik!! Keep it up!

[@harshishyabhandari5407]

Have no words bro Saw your first video around 5-6 months back And you had around 30k subs and now that you've crossed 100k , it really makes me happy to see this community grow and the type and quality of content that you bring out is something next level Keep growing brother and more power to you ❤️✨

[@nikhilvemugadda3078]

you are the one who made me realise my passion ( although u might not be reading this)

[@thelostexperience.]

Yes , he motivate me also 💯

[@bkourplanet1652]

Same

[@yashwanths4850]

I'm always scared to start a video I always think a lot, make scripts even record the videos but after that idk why I just leave the video I have changed my niche every year idk which one is good for me I tried art in 2019, gaming in 2020 and filmmaking in 2021 idk why I am not consistent Niklas you have been my inspiration to create videos keep creating great videos

[@mrcroc8042]

Try hard man finding passion takes a lot of time take your time don't rush all the best peace

[@philippscheithauer]

a good exercise is to think about what you would do if money wasn't an object. If you had all the money in the world, what things would you like to do to give you purpose? And no, just traveling, partying or other types of pure consumption dont count since they don't give purpose. ;)

[@guankstudios]

I have been making films since I was 10, and I have always been more interested in traditional filmmaking. Big sets, awesome original stories and different jobs intrigued me more. Planning to go to film school once i graduate in 2024 and working my way up to hopefully working as a director in Hollywood. Great video man!

[@ViginVijayan]

couldn't have said these things in a better way. great storytelling and awesome color gradings man. Love your videos!!

[@terrapoit9080]

So inspiring dude! Watching you grow since below the 10k mark - and you earned your way up! I‘m allready excited about who you‘re going to become 🙏🏻

[@chrisboughosn]

I am in film school, I like a mix a of traditional and modern filmmaking, and I am learning everything in details, so I think if you can find a film school you can afford it is a great option and it helps gain a great network and you'll make connections with fellow filmmakers. It is not for the sake of the degree, it is for the sake of learning, having hands on experience with equipment you don't have a most importantly meeting key people to your career

[@vagabond9699]

MAN its an ENERGY for go forward you are pushing everyone to get better film maker.My biggest dream is create something epic on youtube i need to deliver a good content.You are an inspiration brother

[@jamesskintauy6773]

Such a great list!! Also loved the part a at the end about being kind to everyone!

[@ShaunNotcutt]

This is such good advice, this is definitely a goal of mine, to go full-time in filmmaking one day. Gave me lots of inspiration, thank you!

[@NhutNguyen-yf3si]

Thanks for sharing these valuable experiences. It really gave me more motivation to become a professional filmmaker. from Vietnam with love

[@jordidesmedt9606]

First video I see on your channel and I'm sad I didn't watch it wayyyy earlier!

[@yaseenkhan-ir6ld]

[@DoctorKat]

Collaborating is so fun! I love connecting with likeminded and inspiring creators! It is so fun to get to meet pople and share a passion :)

[@vampirechic201]

You are so inspiring! Congratulations on all your success!!

[@davesmith-ep7wl]

Dudeee thanks men, it's extremely helpful bro

[@joshuastclairmusic]

Awesome video! I got into film-making just so that I could present my music online, but now I want to dive deeper and make better videos, but also better music… I can’t sacrifice any one craft, it will have to be both 😅

[@jasonstraight1320]

Those "crappy" old videos don't even look crappy. They look fun! :D Really, that's what it's all about. The photo or video quality is too high on some people's totem poles. The ones involved sell the product more than the quality itself.

[@Steezy_keeton]

I’m a 12 year old and really starting to like filmmaking/videography and just got a GoPro and a mavic. This is an inspiring story, thank you!

[@CMRTUBE]

I can already tell that this video is going to be amazing as always. Fantastic quality and creativity into every single video!

[@DerDudelino]

This was awesome. Have you ever thought about a video about smartphone videography? I'm always curious what a pro can get out of our every day devices who have become rather capable.

[@AjoyDeb]

One day this man will cross every famous film maker 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FabianRoeglin]

Niklas, Du bist literally der einzige Deutsche mit englischem Content, den ich mir geben kann :D Kompliment an deinen Skill, Erfolg und dein akzentfreies Denglisch 🤣👌🏾 Grüße von nem Mediengestalter Kollegen

Hi. I am just wondering who filmed you in all these videos. Can you give a tip on how to arrange for a camera man wherever you go?

[@sraptes]

Excellent video my man!

[@eduardjakobi2197]

Hey Niklas, vielen Dank dir für das ausführliche Video ! Würdest du in naher Zukunft mal ein Video über dein Einkommen machen und eine kleine Timeline erstellen? Viele fragen sich, wie viele Ausgaben und Aufwand am Anfang notwendig sind und ab wann man mit Filmmaking/KZbin anschießend überleben kann. Ich würde mich sehr über solch ein Video freuen!

[@a.k.yandamuri]

thnks a lot I dont wanna pursue a career on it but more like a hobby and this kinda helps

[@OnlyTanghi]

Always the best quality content mate ...

[@wth.reddit]

Why dont you make a NAS server at your home like that you dont need to have lot of ssds in your house, and for travel you can let your nas server turned ON 24/24 and by the network connect to it remotely and take the data.

[@diegojustraveled1118]

[@FedeLopez]

One of your best videos 👌🏻

[@benburges4709]

Hi Niklas, My name is Ben and I'm 13 and live in nz. I LOVE filmmaking and ever since I was 8 years old me and my cousin have made films with iPads, until I saved up enough money to get a camera. Ever since then, we have created scripts together and brought our friends around and created action and drama films with what we had lying around. With every movie we have made it had been one of the best experiences that me and my friends have had, and we have such a blast making them and having our families around for the premiere. We are creating an 1800s film and we have been planning it for around 5 months, and we are so excited to put all our skills from previous fails into this new film. Your videos have inspired me to become a better filmmaker, and I admire the quality and skill you put into your videos. Even though you probably won't be reading this just wanted to say thanks man; your an inspiration!!

[@iam_skamal]
